About Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Spinach

I have to admit, I had help on this recipe, twice over.
First, was from Tricia Yearwood, who is an excellent cook and gave me the idea for Tortellini Soup.

Next, was from my little dog,  Angel, my little four-legged kitchen companion who was with right there with me, underfoot, for every step of the process.
Now, you have to understand something about Angel.
As a papillon, she was all French from her nose to her toes.
Kind of like Remy in Ratatouille.
And like Remy, she had a very sophisticated palate and, except for her dry salmon dog food, she leaned mostly vegetarian.
There are very few vegetables she wouldn’t  eat.
Cooked or raw, she was totally happy.
So when she heard me in the kitchen chopping away, she instantly appeared as she waited for her veggie handouts.
Now Coco, the little Maltese, has joined the family.
And a happy surprise is that she’s a veggie dog too.
And this soup is packed with veggies.
So let’s make it.

How to Make Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Spinach

 

Begin with a mirepoix – celery, onions and carrots- and cook them with olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they just begin to caramelize.
At that point, add 2 cloves of garlic and smoked sausage and let it cook about another minute.
Then add in in the low sodium chicken broth.

At this point, turn the heat up to medium high and  bring the soup up to a boil.
Then add in the tortellini and let it cook another 6-7 minutes.
Finally remove the pot from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and raw baby spinach.
Gently stir in the spinach until it just begins to wilt.
Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
